A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Hyla chrysoscelis
When the tree frog was first captured, his color was greenish (see first photo), but within several minutes his skin had changed to a pale gray (see following photos). Also, shortly after handling him, I inadvertently touched my eye, which a few minutes later began to sting, and continued to sting until I irrigated it. I suppose his skin secreted some kind of mild toxin.
Found in a country backyard next to a pool.
